Douglas boys advance to finals of tournament

The Douglas High boys basketball team advanced to the championship game of its own Carson Valley Classic with a 65-52 win over Manogue on Friday.

Douglas will play Laguna Creek, who beat Faith Lutheran 75-68 in overtime, at 3 p.m. today.

The Tigers and Manogue were tied 11-11 after one quarter before Douglas went on to take a 30-18 halftime lead. “We just kind of carried that through,” said Douglas coach Rob Streeter about his team being able to maintain control of the game.

Manogue could only become as close as nine points in the fourth quarter. Michael Gransbery scored 19 points and Keith Olson added 14 points. Olson also had a huge game on the boards with 19 rebounds.

Streeter also said his bench, including Joe Nady, who scored six points, continued to play well.
